Subject: String to Variable Name Mapping

Message-ID: <4kjico$emb@newssvr.cacd.rockwell.com> (raw)

Is there an attribute or some other way to use the contents of a string
variable to point to another variable?

For example, if I have the following declarations,

  Int_Var : Integer;
  Str_Var : String (1..32) := "Int_Var";

can I somehow use the contents of Str_Var to make an assignment to 
Int_Var?

I'd like to do this as a way of initializing variables by reading from a 
text file containing the variable name and the desired initial value.

Thanks,
